Well, April was basically my “hiatus” month. I really hadn’t intended it. I thought I would be back a week after the “semi-hiatus,” but nope. Certain circumstances prevented me from having regular access to internet. I honestly was not productive on my time away from it.
WHAT I DID IN APRIL
- Moved house! No longer in an apartment, but in a fabulous duplex. :D So from mid-April, I was quite busy moving and unpacking and adjusting to my new surroundings.
- Had a major reading and blogging slump. Courtesy of Sebastian Stan and Charlotte at Gypsy Reviews + Chiara at Delicate Eternity.
- Watched a lot of Sebastian Stan’s work (mainly Political Animal)
- Went to a big book sale!
- Went to Rachel Hawkins’s (one of my absolute favorite authors) book event
- Finally got my new cover feature name!
- Went slowly crazy from the lack of internet.
Y’know, the usual. ;D
REVIEWS
Welp, only one review. Better than nothing, right?
BOOKS GALORE!
I got all these books at the big book sale! I was glad that I didn’t have as much as last time because that meant I didn’t have to lug it on the bus and up a hill. :D

ON THE BLOG
Not a lot happened this month because y’know, hiatus and all. I didn’t prep for it since I had no idea I’d be gone for half a month. :P
- I talked about the cover change in Hysteria by Megan Miranda.
- I wrote a letter to myself because I went into major Sebastian Stan obsession mode, which Charlotte and Chiara can vouch for. It was horrible, but wonderful.
- If you missed my font posts, check them out here:
- I waited on this book because WITCHEESSS — Hexed by Michelle Krys
- Also, I talked about —
— My Camp NaNoWriMo project, which was a murder mystery and had a ghost haunting.
— my semi-hiatus because I was moving house, which turned into an actual lonnnnngg hiatus!
WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT MAY!
May will be a glorious month because of these reasons:
- MY BIRTHDAY! First and foremost! Major party timeeeeeeeee!

‘Went’ into a Seb obsession mode. There is no past tense here, C1. NO PAST TENSE.
But ew you not having internet was horrible but thank whatever needs to be thanked that you could tweet from your phone. No regrets when it came to clogging up people’s feeds because we’re fabulous <3
I know the cover feature name and I know why you're so happy and I cannot wait for you to finally use it because YAY.
Also May is pretty much the most perfect month in the year because besides the fact that it has the cutest name EVER there are heaps of amazing birthdays! Like you + me + Asti + Rosie + I think there are others, as well. BUT YAY MAY WOOOT.

Anyways May is gonna be amazingggg because duh, C-ubed and your birthdays and other awesome stuff. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK *SOBS*
I’m curious about that Sebastian dude. I need to check that out! I was kind of in a semi-hiatus too because of school and just problems in life but hopefully I’ll get back into my reading grind soon. I’ve been debating whether I want to read The Heist Society. I heard that it’s a really good and fun read. That’s so cool how you got to meet Rachel Hawkins! I haven’t read Rebel Belle yet but omg I really want to own it. That cover though! So gorgeous!
Yay I’m not the only one to take unplanned blogging and reading hiatuses! It’s not that I don’t want to blog or read, it’s just that I have a hard time putting away other things to do it. Ah, time management and motivation. where can they be found? ;)
